Abstract:

Individualized treatment is a basic feature of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and individualized efficacy evaluation is also been emphasized in TCM clinical practice. Individualized evaluation is in favor of improving intervention continuously, and optimizing the TCM evidence-using pattern gradually. Traditional case reports can better demonstrate the efficacy of individual, but lack standardized design, making such evidence show a lower quality. Meanings, objectives and design elements of TCM individualized evaluation were discussed in this paper. Then based on the original work, design ideas and framework of TCM evidence-based case reporting system were established preliminarily. This work will improve the methodology of TCM individualized evaluation to realize the goal of optimizing TCM clinical evidence-using pattern.
